Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The best and safest way a woman can do an abortion herself until the 12th week of
pregnancy is with the use of two medicines namely Mifepristone and
Misoprostol. Earier it is instituted, better would be the outcome.
Misoprostol causes contractions of the womb, which helps to expel the pregnancy. A woman can experience painful cramps, vaginal blood loss that is more than a normal
menstruation, nausea, vomiting and
diarrhoea. There is always a risk of heavy bleeding. Success rate of abortion with the use of Misoprostol is 90%.
Mifepristone, an antiprogesterone, binds to the
progesterone receptor to block the receptor, softens and dilates the cervix, helps in placental detachment and increases uterine contractions.
However, these pills need to be taken in appropriate dose as per the schedule strictly under medical supervision to avoid or tackle complications associated with the process.
Kindly consult Gynecologist for further information and management.
Wish you all the best.
